1791 Leeds Half Penny
Featured is a Halfpenny token struck for Leeds and the surrounding area on behalf of Richard Paley, a local merchant. The presence of sheep on both sides of the token may be a reference to the importance of the wool trade in Leeds at this time, which also suggests that Richard Paley may well have been involved in the wool trade in some way.

Trade tokens were produced by Birmingham traders in the 1660s and 1670s. This was partly because small change was in short supply after the English Civil War. Merchants and tradesmen issued halfpennies like this one on the understanding that they would later exchange them for money. This kept trade going and was a great way to advertise their business. As a mercer, John Jesson would have most likely sold cloth, but the term ‘mercer’ also described a range of small shopkeepers who sold a variety of other dried goods.

These tokens depicts Al Buraq, a heavenly winged horse who carried the Prophet Mohammed through the Seven Heavens and his prophets too. She is generally shown as a white horse with a woman’s head and a peacock’s or horse’s tail. The title of ‘Buraq’ in Urdu is displayed in the exergue. The reverse side depicts the Kalima, the Islamic statement of faith along with names of the four Holy Caliphs.

Mine tokens or pit checks were issued to record the number of miners underground. Each miner would take the pit check with his allocated number from the board at the start of his shift and put it back when he returned to the surface. This board gave a quick and straightforward indication of which miners were underground.
The circular brass pit check or tally is embossed with"NATIONAL COAL BOARD/ COMRIE" and is stamped with the number "89". There is also a hole for the miner to attach it to a piece of string.

It's traditional to leave a token on a grave marker, to show that the person who is buried there has had a visitor. The most common tokens are stones. Occasionally, I will find a seashell. In this context, I remember that life started in the sea. I wonder if that's what the giver had in mind, as well.
